What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like these pads for aggressive rides where I still want full freedom of movement. They feel soft and flexible while pedaling, then give real confidence when things get rowdy. I've taken a few hits in them and the protection is noticeable without feeling bulky or restrictive."

From trail laps to enduro stages, this elbow protector delivers dependable coverage with a barely-there feel.
